Jeremy Corbyn Tried To 'Floss' And People Can't Handle It

Jeremy Corbyn Tried To 'Floss' And People Can't Handle It

He shouldn't hang up his political career any time soon with those moves

Move over, 'Maybot' - let us introduce 'Jeremy Bean'.

Yes, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has gone viral after attempting to try out dance craze 'the floss', although he ended up resembling Mr Bean with his dance moves.

While attending the Pride of Britain awards last night, Corbyn was persuaded by 10-year-old Max Johnson to try out the dance, which has been made popular by the online game Fortnite.

To be fair, the politician wasn't the only one - Olly Murs also had a go at the dance, but he'd clearly had a bit more practice than Corbyn as his attempts were a bit more convincing.

The resemblance was really noticed by the Sky News weather presenter Nazaneen Ghaffer, who took to Twitter to point out the likeness to Rowan Atkinson's slapstick comedy creation. Unsurprisingly, this provided an opportunity for everyone else to have a chuckle at Corbyn's not-so-slick moves.

And ITV's Good Morning Britain didn't let him off the hook earlier today, as the show's presenter Susanna Reid said: "You say 'dancing' - that's probably the loosest definition of what's happening there."

Her guest host Adil Ray added: "It is a bit Mr Bean, isn't it?" Come on mate, get your own jokes.

Luckily Olly Murs found the whole situation pretty funny, and before long he sent out a Tweet poking fun at both himself and the Labour leader.

Obviously, many people have followed suit and taken to social media to take the piss out of Corbyn.

One person tweeted: "Whoever is advising these leaders has a wicked sense of humour, either that or they're working garden leave and just don't give a shit."

Another said: "Well, that will stop kids doing the floss for sure."

While a third person spotted another resemblance, posting a picture of toy 'Weeble'.

Seems like politicians just love showing off their dance moves at the moment, and as funny as Corbyn's was, none quite take the trophy like UK Prime Minister Theresa May.

May has thrown her robotic shapes around not once, but on three separate occasions - twice when she was visiting schools in South Africa and a third time where she voluntarily danced on stage at the Conservative Party conference to ABBA's 'Dancing Queen'.

Well, at least they all still have their political careers to fall back on, because one thing's for sure, they probably won't be making it on to the next season of Strictly Come Dancing.
